2012 Tourism Statistics Review

Friday 09 March 2012, 4:20 PM

The Tourism Alliance annual review of tourism statistics brings together the headline tourism figures from the three main national tourism surveys and combines them with key information from other studies and publications to provide an over view of the size and value of tourism to the UK economy.

This year's review shows that total tourism expenditure reached £125bn in 2011. This is £16bn more than the previous figure and indicates that tourism is growing strongly despite the economic slowdown.
